If you want to remove all this information, why not remove also the author of the comment? This way we get very objective comments, where upvotes are merely based on quality of comment. Too many times have I read "Regardless what pg writes he will be upvoted". Of course, this applies to all known users. I think we are going too far with this censorship of upvotes.
I miss to see the upvotes from comments -- I am busy and cannot read the 100+ comments some submitions receive. Upvotes allowed me to see which comments were worth reading. Now I read only the first 5-10 comments that look good and then stop. I wish I could at least see something like: "very upvoted" instead of the upvote count for comments that receive more than 20 upvotes.
Since vote counts have been removed, I don't think I have distributed more that 3 upvotes. Somehow I fear that a comment was already highly upvoted and don't want to over-upvote it, so I just don't upvote.
- mooism2 15y agoSometimes the author of the comment is relevant information: if pg says something about VC funding, you know that he has experience in it and also what his biases might be. If someone anonymously says something about VC funding, you have no idea what their experience or biases might be. Also, it is useful to know whether the person who replied to your comment is the same person who wrote the comment yours was a reply to.
